Sonia
Maria Sotomayor[6] was born in the New York City borough of The Bronx.[7]
Her father was Juan Sotomayor (born c. 1921),[8] from the area of Santurce,
San Juan, Puerto Rico,[9][10][11] and her mother was Celina Báez (born
1927),[12] an orphan[13] from the neighborhood of Santa Rosa in Lajas, a
still mostly rural area on Puerto Rico's southwest coast.[11]

The two
left Puerto Rico separately, met, and married during World War II after
Celina served in the Women's Army Corps.[14][15] Juan Sotomayor had a
third-grade education, did not speak English, and worked as a tool and die
worker;[9] Celina Baez worked as a telephone operator and then a practical
nurse.[8] Sonia's younger brother, Juan Sotomayor (born c. 1957), later
became a physician and university professor in the Syracuse, New York,
area.[16][17]

Sotomayor was raised a Catholic[4] and grew up in Puerto
Rican communities in the South Bronx and East Bronx; she self-identifies as
a "Nuyorican".[14] The family lived in a South Bronx tenement[18] before
moving in 1957 to the well-maintained, racially and ethnically mixed,
working-class Bronxdale Houses housing project[18][19][20] in Soundview
(which has over time been thought as part of both the East Bronx and
South Bronx).[21][22][23] Her relative proximity to Yankee Stadium led
to her becoming a lifelong fan of the New York Yankees.[24] The extended
family got together frequently[18] and regularly visited Puerto Rico
during summers.[25]

Sonia grew up with an alcoholic father and a
mother who was emotionally distant; she felt closest to her grandmother, who
she later said gave her a source of "protection and purpose".[13] Sonia was
diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age seven [...]

i agree of course that garland
hardly balances things. the nomination was clearly a ploy by obama to make
good use of the jewish lobby. the repubs will lose even more in november if
the idiot mcconnell continues to obstruct. remember that the legal
profession has a huge chunk of jews (a plurality? would love to know), who
we all know make devastating lawyers, so this is hardly a
conspiracy.

President Obama commissioned
Sotomayor on the day of her confirmation;[201] Sotomayor was sworn in on
August 8, 2009, by Chief Justice John Roberts.[202] Sotomayor is the first
Hispanic to serve on the Supreme Court.[199][200][203][204] Some attention
has been given to Justice Benjamin Cardozo – a Sephardic Jew believed to be
of distant Portuguese descent – as the first Hispanic on the court when
appointed in 1932, but his roots were uncertain, the term "Hispanic" was not
in use as an ethnic identifier at the time, and the Portuguese are
generally excluded from its meaning.[204][205][206]

Identity
Politics: Is Sotomayor a Latina or an Illuminati Jewess? --Reader
asks

It appears that Sonia Sotomayor will be placed on the
SupremeCourt; the girl who was brought up as a Catholic, but during
herher days at University belonged to the Latino organization andall
went to Sunday mass except her - Imao, sounds like an echoin the room with
the likes of Nancy Pelosi who is another yenta;speaks Yiddish fluently, but
this Italian gal can't speak Italian -the Pope knew and he gave her a 15
minute interview with asmile on his face.

Sonia's family originated
in Spain during the late 1400's andthen fled to Portugal; then on the Chile,
Puerto Rico, and USover hundreds of years. There is a very special website
thatgives the names of all Sephardic Jews in the world and oneonly has
to research: Soto, Mayor, Sotomayor, and her mom'smaiden name of Baez; not
to mention a simple look at photosof her and the mother.

This is a
satanic movement who is stacking people in all theimportant positions of
power. This all reminds me of the goodCatholic boy called Hugh Hefner who
finally came out of thecloset a few years ago to admit he was really a
[Sabbatean] Jew.

US Supreme Court nominee is a poster child for strong
Jewish-Hispanic ties.

By RON KAMPEAS / JTA

Jerusalem Post
05/28/2009

Jewish groups don't endorse US Supreme Court nominees, at
least in writing. The tears and choked sobs when Sonia Sotomayor accepted
President Obama's nomination on Tuesday told another story.

Packed
into the room along with Sotomayor's family, friends and colleagues were
representatives of Jewish groups that have consulted with the White House
about prospective replacements for David Souter.

The story of her life -
the daughter of a Puerto Rican single mother from the Bronx, NY, whose
ambitions knew no bounds - resounded with a community that has made the
story of immigrant triumph over struggle a template of Jewish American
success. "It was impossible not to moved by her personal story," said Mark
Pelavin, the associate director of the Reform movement's Religious Action
Center.

"To see her mother sitting there and think about what this says
about her and her country - the combination of someone who grew up in a
housing project, who has been on the bench for a long time, but who has
been a prosecutor as well, that combination is very powerful." "It was
thrilling," said Sammie Moshenberg, the Washington director of the
National Council of Jewish Women.

It doesn't hurt that Sotomayor, 54,
is a poster child for strong Jewish-Hispanic relations. In 1986, when she
was in private legal practice, she joined one of the first young leadership
tours of Israel sponsored by Project Interchange, which is affiliated with
the American Jewish Committee. Sotomayor so enjoyed the country - its
immigrant culture, its popular music influenced heavily by Jewish immigrants
from Argentina and Brazil - that she made a return visit in 1996 when she
was a federal judge, and recently joined a Project Interchange US-Israel
forum on immigration.

In the process, she formed a lifelong
friendship with Project Interchange founder Debbie Berger and her husband,
Paul, who attended her swearing-in as a Manhattan appeals court judge in
1998. "She enjoyed Israel not just from an intellectual perspective, she
liked the music and the people," Paul Berger told JTA. Richard Foltin, the
legislative director for the AJC, said her background naturally played a
role in how the Jewish community would welcome her. "We must recognize the
significance of the third woman and first Hispanic on the court," he
said.

"And there's no question of her impressive qualifications."
Sotomayor would come to the Supreme Court with one of the longest bench
careers in its history, having handed down or joined 3,000 decisions in 18
years as a federal and appeals court judge. That's a lot to read through and
accounted for a degree of hesitancy from Jewish groups that were
enthused about her life story but just getting to know her judicial
record. "I've got a bunch of opinions in my briefcase and it's time to
start reading," Pelavin said.

The National Council of Jewish Women --
one of the few Jewish groups that expresses an opinion on judicial
candidates -- has yet to announce where it stands. Whatever the case, said
Nancy Ratzan, the NCJW's president, the organization would dedicate itself
to ensuring that Sotomayor receives a fair hearing. "Our 90,000 followers
will be focused on making sure it's a fair and prompt process that focuses
on her record," she said. NCJW and the Religious Action Center will canvass
members for appropriate questions for Sotomayor during the confirmation
process; the questions will be relayed to the US Senate Judicary
Committee.

Leaders of the Anti-Defamation League issued a statement
calling for a process that is conducted "professionally, and with civility
and respect," and praised the pick while stopping short of an official
endorsement. "We applaud President Obama for having selected this noted
jurist to be the Court's first Hispanic and third woman Justice," the
ADL leaders stated. "If confirmed, she will undoubtedly bring an
important new perspective to the work of the Court."

Even the
Orthodox Union, which tends to stake our more conservative ground than other
Jewish organizations on church-state issues, spoke positively about
Sotomayor, citing several religious freedom-related cases. In a 1993 case,
she upheld the constitutional right of a rabbi in White Plains, NY, to
display a menorah in a city park. In two other cases, in 1994 and 2003,
Sotomayor upheld prisoners' religious rights even though the practices in
question did not conform with mainstream beliefs. And in 2006, she ruled
that allowing federal age discrimination statutes to apply to a 70-year-old
minister dismissed by the Methodist church would constitute unwarranted
government interference in church affairs.

Those decisions, OU said,
were "very encouranging." Marc Stern, the legal counsel for the American
Jewish Congress, predicted that Sotomayor's long bench experience ultimately
will be a plus. More time on the bench shaping reasoned opinions made her
less of a target than other nominees - like Lani Gunier, Robert Bork and
Samuel Alito - whose years pushing intellectual boundaries in the halls of
academe handed fodder to opponents seeking controversial statements.
Additionally, the 2nd Circuit of Appeals - based in Manhattan and covering
New York, Connecticut and Vermont - deals with cases emerging from courts
and legislatures that already trend liberal. That means it is less likely to
address issues such as abortion and discrimination that often exercise
Jewish groups. "There's no track record that anyone can point to," Stern
said, referring to such hot-button issues. "There's not likely going to
be a whole lot there as a smoking gun."

About Me

'Mission statement'.
I am convinced that jewish individuals and groups have an enormous influence on the world. The MSM are, for almost all people, the only source of information, and these are largely controlled by jewish people.
So there is a huge under-reporting on jewish influence in the world.
I see it as my mission to try to close this gap. To quote Henry Ford: "Corral the 50 wealthiest jews and there will be no wars." `(Thomas Friedman wrote the same in Haaretz, about the war against Iraq! See yellow marked area, blog 573)
If that is true, my mission must be very beneficial to humanity.
